Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Compend of Electricity and Its Medical and Surgical Uses
Notwithstanding the undoubted and great utility of Electricity in medicine and surgery, it is surprising that there still remains a large class of practitioners who rarely employ it, and are apparently content to remain in almost complete ignorance of the subject. This may be explained by the fact, that the busy practitioner is frightened at the prospect of having to wade through large and exhaustive treatises on the subject, and is thus dismayed by the mass of scien tific information and of technical terms which he is expected to understand.
The undergraduate also is disheartened upon at tempting the study of Electricity from full and lengthy treatises; and though this should not be a reason for completely ignoring the subject, yet as a matter of fact it often forms his exeme for so doing. Hence the necessity arises for concise and short treatises upon this therapeutic resource.
